Just curious what results people have had when they collected trees, either through nessecity or preference, at the "wrong" time of the year. "Wrong", being what is normally considered too early or too late by the majority of bonsai and other plant enthusiasts. The infamous "they say you shouldn't..........." pronouncements.
I collected a Bald Cypress 3 months after the normal peak collecting period. It sprouted out and was growing normally in about the customary time frame. Now, it did get borers and eventually faded away, so I don't know if the cause was early collection. I collected a couple of thumb sized camphor trees this year about 2 months past peak time and they are alive and doing nicely.
